Hello yeoreobun! Hope you missed me, it’s been quite a while since my last post for the mini vlog, but you needn’t wait any longer. In today’s post I have prepared for you a little surprise, but I guess you’ve already figured it out from the title.

Hence I’ll start from the beginning. At the end of March I had a pleasant visit from my parents, I have received many gifts from home, chocolate and other things which I have dearly missed. For them, Japan has been a new, interesting experience, from which they have learned many things.

At that time, I came up with a brilliant idea and said to myself: “Why not make a new episode, a little bit different?”, thus making the episode of today – Parents try Korean Food in Japan. Yes, I took my parents to the Korean Town to taste the specific food.

I can tell you that our trip to the Korean Town (Shin Okubo) in Shinjuku was clearly an adventure for my parents :)) even the subway map was an enigma for them! The incredibly lit streets were taking us into a whole new world, my parents being fascinated at each step of the way. From the KPop music, to the stores full of KBeauty products, they didn’t know where to look anymore :))

As for the restaurant where we were going to eat, I wanted to be somewhere I had already gone at, therefore I chose the same as last time, Miyomi, aka the Big Bang restaurant. “Do you know what they are saying? They’re singing in English, in Korean” my father said to me. “No :)), but why does it matter if they look good” I tell him full of confidence.

What should we order? I couldn’t let them leave without trying a little bit of the typical Korean alcohol, therefore as for drinks, we had Soju with pineapple flavour and the classic Asahi beer (Japanese brand). After they drank Soju, “It’s like a juice”, said my mother with a smile on her face.

After that, we ate Cheese Dak-Galbi | 치즈 닭갈비 and Kimchi, both dishes being spicy. But very goood!

As a final thought, I can confess that my parents were quite pleased with the welcoming atmosphere, they liked the food (which was a little bit too spicy for their taste) and they also liked the fact that they didn’t leave smelling like fried meat, a pro argument that I’ve mentioned in the previous post.

I am going to leave her a little video as well to see more clearly their reactions on their faces and that all being said, see you all next time! Hugs and kisses :*

It's all about the projects !
KCulture in Romania, known as KCu.Ro, is one of the oldest communities which promotes everything that has to do with South Korea among the Korean culture lovers from Romania.
